The stars of HBO’s vampire show “True Blood” grace the cover of September’s first Rolling Stone, and it’s bloody. Well, to be more accurate, it’s “obviously-fake-red-dyed-corn-syrup”-y. But it’s still kinda NSFW.
I want my mom! At least I have to give RS props for making a relevant cover for the first time in like, 10 years.
Do you think the cover is sexy or scary?
guest
Hm.. True BLOOD. As in… vampires. OMG LIKE NO WAY VAMPIRES DRINK BLOOD?!?! Seriously…
I love me some True Blood. And this cover definitely captures the gore and violence the show brings to HBO. Besides, naked Bill and Eric… they could be covered in chicken feathers and it would still be damn sexy.
guest
It looks like she had her period all over everyone.

Uhm. No. This is a fail.

I fucking love this cover… and True Blood. This covers pretty much all of what that show is about. Yes!

Vampire threesome?
guest
@quasarglow@xanga - eahaha that’s what I thought of too.
guest
I LOVE vampireS!, and for me -True Blood- is the best tv show out there, i love it! The cover? its sooo HOT! ….BUT… RS had the chance to do a more artistic and beautiful cover like something with a victorian theme or a cementery background, get it? I still wonder if this is the official Photo or if it will have something else on the background.
But yes TRUE BLOOD= VAMPIRES,SEX AND LOTS OF BLOOD
guest
I can’t wait til the entertainment industry and media get over this whole “edgy” concept and start aiming for true quality.
guest
@methodElevated@xanga - it looks like it. lol.@autumnsunrise@xanga - yeah i thought the same thing also

Yeah, let’s splash some food colouring over these morons and hope someone in a distant land jacks off to it.
Whenever someone makes a list of crappy RS covers, this has to go on it. No exceptions.
guest
photographer: Can we get some tampons on set PLEASE?? (this is how i visualed the photo shoot)

guest
The show is definitely way worse. So IDK what the deal is, really.
guest
this is ~awesome. Bill is so incredibly sexy and southern…mm,
guest
Hnnn..meh.
guest
i am slightly repulsed, but it kind of… works?
guest
@quasarglow@xanga - HAHAHAHAHAHA ewwww so gross.
guest
LOVE the show, yeah its gruesome and sexy all at the same time.
guest
i love it.
orchid / 201 posts
oh! this looks just like a porn I saw once!
sunflower / 320 posts
I don’t think its sexy or scary. I think less clothing is more sexy than naked. It probably would have been hotter if they had more blood and maybe they look like they are going to bit her.
orchid / 201 posts
ps they definitely had to blur out her vag. check out the way the shadow under her thigh just magically disappears!
guest
PERFECT for the show. I absolutely love this.
guest
What’s NFSW?
Hmm, the more I stare at it, the more I think it’s sexy. I just can’t find out where her boobs are.
guest
Hot<3 Though I guess if you don’t watch the show then you’re like ”wtf?” but…this is what it is. It’s a very gory, sexual show.
guest
I wish I had HBO.
guest
@quasarglow@xanga - Omg, this. And she looks happy about it, too.
Just gross.
orchid / 156 posts
wow, that is horrible. that’s like. porn.
guest
LOVE IT. i will definitely be buying this magazine just so i can hang the cover up in my dorm room

Sexy
guest
i think its Hawt! But im guessing you have to be a fan of the show to actually like it.
guest
Lame. entourage>true blood.
guest
They could have done better than this…
guest
eric <3
guest
I don’t watch the show but I know a lot of people like it. It’s gross for sure but the guy on the left is still quite attractive haha
guest
this would be really hot if all the blood were gone
guest
Holy hotness, batman! MUST buy this stat!
guest
This show would be 12398721498624 times better if they had a different leading lady.
I fucking hate her. She’s not a good actress, and she’s ugly.
tulip / 5 posts
looks like someone forgot to put a tampon in.
disgusting.
guest
why do they have to be naked? what does that have to do with vampires?
guest
They’re hot. They’re sexy. They’re undead.
Wow. I laughed for a long time after reading those lines.
sunflower / 477 posts
it didn’t look that bad in the cropped version on the lovelyish front page, but seeing the rest of it is rather ‘ew’
guest
@methodElevated@xanga - HOT. I vote for that.
sunflower / 480 posts
ew that’s disgusting. they’re all bloody…the blood on her leg just makes it look like her period went wild, and his hand is at a FULL ON grab!
guest
love it !!!
guest
I love True Blood. This is hot.
guest
I love True Blood <3
guest
if any of you guys watched the show, you’d know how perfect this cover is.
I think it’s tasteful.
guest
Just add a naked Sam and this would be perfect =)…..then again he isnt a vampire… I dont care >_<
guest
@RandomxBlinkingxLight@xanga - You obviously haven’t seen the show.
guest
i think its sexy…but thats possibly cause i absolutely love the show and am a little biased…real vampires = hott! (and no worries…i know they arent actually real)
guest
so sexy.
guest
@quasarglow@xanga - OMFG that’s so true. My first thought was EWWW
guest
I think all that is hot as fuck.But I’m twisted.
guest
the thing that bothers me about this photo is their faces.. they look so, i dont know, akward.. and she looks strained
guest
SEXY!!!
i fucking LOVE it!
guest
fucking weird.
and they do make relevant covers…. they have bands and artists and stars on the cover. I’m not really sure how adding blood and nudity to the mix makes it “relevant”
guest
@AutumnShadowsQ@xanga - so awkward…
guest
Hot!
guest
WHEN DID IT BECOME APPROPRIATE TO GROPE NAKED WOMEN ON MAGAZINE COVERS?!?!
guest
Could’ve been done better… but I certainly see no problem with it.
guest
fits the spirit of the show especially well!
guest
@quasarglow@xanga - This is true.
guest
I love this cover to death. It’s definitely bordering NSFW, plus there seems to be a bit too much airbrushing in some areas… But this is what the show is about. They’re never afraid to push the envelope and that just shows more now because they’re mainstreaming more often. And it’s not like they’ve never seen each other in the nude, so they would have no problem posing for this.
UNF Alexander. Forget Bill, Sookie, check out Eric over there!

I LOVE it! well i love it because it is 100% true to the show. im not into naked bloody people but hey, they wanted to cover the show the might as well make a cover that shows what the series is about!
guest
ew gross. did they just not think this through at all?
sunflower / 296 posts
Would you have liked it if it were pig’s blood a la Carrie?
sunflower / 337 posts
Stuff like this doesn’t surprise me anymore, but I do think it’s gross :p
At least it isn’t some Twilight BS…
guest
@AutumnShadowsQ@xanga - omg you’re riiight about the vag. look at how blurry her left ass cheek is, btw.
guest
I love how much she’s airbrushed! lol
I think she looks disgusting but this cover just makes me want eric to bite me… but I’m kind of a fan girl so maybe I’m biased.
guest
i think sookie would be dead now, mashed between THOSE two vampires while being covered in blood!
lol
I love love love Eric’s storyline in the books (even though the whole amnesia thing is weird) and i’m glad that the series has been kinda sticking to that. =) I never really got into Bill.
guest
lmao “they’re hot they’re sexy they’re undead” lmaoo
guest
I like it. It reminds me of episode 10 in season 3. Eric comes back all covered in talbots blood and then it gets to the scene of sookie and bill and they are both naked and covered in blood after having sex and are getting into a shower. True blood is provocative and sexy. there have been a few moments this season where i couldn’t watch just bc my stomach was turning but at least it isn’t a fluffy vampire shit that a lot of people are not doing. They aren’t “good vegetarian” vampires like the cullens who feed off of animals and protect a defenseless bella. They are primal and fierce and sookie isn’t a defenseless little girl. She fights like a vicious bitch and knows how to protect her own self. I love it
guest
trueblood is basically vampire porn… so i think the cover fits.
guest
It’s hot as hell. Nom nom <3 Erik!!!
guest
its gross. too showy.
guest
I think it’s kind of hot but gross at the same time.
sunflower / 434 posts
WIN.
because I like True Blood. and nudity.
guest
I want to cut everyone out and just have the focus on Eric. Yeah..that would be nice..:)
guest
Epic win. I want the poster.
guest
I don’t like True Blood, but this cover is hella cool.
guest
I sent this cover to all of the friends who love True Blood, and let me just say, they all drooled over it. But only because Bill and Eric are naked…
And how do I know their names when I don’t even watch the show? Because my friends are still trying to convert me.
guest
True Blood IS the shit!!! Love this cover too!! Basically sums up the show. Lots of blood and nudity! Yummy!!! Great pose.
guest
this is awesome.
guest
Whoa, wait, WHAT?! How in the world is this “relevant”? Relevant to what? Pornography? Oh yeah, like THAT matters. NOT!
guest
The ol’ ‘let’s get 2 guys and 1 girl to pose nude for a photo’ is getting old, distasteful and retarded.
guest
@needleontherecord@xanga - no, i haven’t lol. are they naked all the time or something? =P
guest
@RandomxBlinkingxLight@xanga - Haha pretty much. The show is about sex and lust as much as it is vampires really. Vampires and sex have always been closely related, but this show amplifies it to a cartoonish extreme.
guest
@needleontherecord@xanga - ah ok, gotcha ^_~
guest
Oh My!!! I hope they put a warning on that cover, some plastic sheeting or something….
guest
@quasarglow@xanga - thats what i was gonna say
